⚕️ Important

Shaped is not a doctor.

It's an educational tool. Treat what it tells you as a starting point — not as medical guidance.

What Shaped is

An AI coaching app for women athletes. It synthesizes information from sports medicine literature, female athlete physiology research, and ACOG/IOC consensus statements. It's the coach who actually understands how women's bodies work.

What Shaped is not

  • Not a doctor. It cannot diagnose, prescribe, or treat.
  • Not your OB/GYN. Cycle issues, fertility concerns, pregnancy management require real medical care.
  • Not a pelvic floor PT. Symptoms warrant in-person assessment.
  • Not a registered dietitian. Eating disorder concerns require specialized clinical care.
  • Not infallible. AI makes mistakes. Verify important things.

Always work with a real physician

Shaped works best alongside real medical care. Find a physician who understands female athletes for perimenopause, thyroid, or hormone concerns. See a pelvic floor PT postpartum (we'll keep saying this). Get bloodwork. Have an OB/GYN for cycle, fertility, and pregnancy concerns.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Shaped will not program aggressive dieting or hard training progression during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or TTC. This is non-negotiable. Your OB/MFM is the primary decision-maker during these life stages — Shaped is at most a supportive resource alongside that care.

RED-S is real

If your menstrual cycle disappears while training and dieting, that is your body telling you about energy availability. Shaped will say so. Listen.

If something feels wrong, see a doctor

Severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding outside a normal period, signs of preeclampsia (severe headache, vision changes, RUQ pain), suspected pregnancy, severe psychiatric symptoms, thoughts of harming yourself or others — these are emergencies. Call your doctor, go to the ER, or call 988 (US crisis line) or your local equivalent.

The bottom line

Shaped makes you a more informed athlete. It does not replace the humans whose job it is to keep you healthy.
